This is my dream: To live as my forefathers once did - in harmony with the land that sustains us. A project to investigate and innovate the creation of a low impact home with methods of living in a form of permaculture designed to sustain my family and improve biodiversity. To leave the land richer than before and in doing so enable others to do so.
My Dream
Posted 12/03/09 by Matt B in the Green Moral category
I have a dream. It is a driving desire. A yearning so intrinsic to who I am that sometimes I feel I might expire should I be unable to chase my dream.My dream is a simple one.
A desire to live close to the soil, the trees, the natural world.
It's like the British woodlands are calling to me and they call ever louder with each passing year. Even in my flat surrounded, as it is, by concrete and brick. With the tiny pointless patches of mostly toxic ground growing just a few shaggy areas of weed infested grass I can still hear the call.
The call I can not ignore.
That is why I have created this blog. I can think of no other way to express that, which for lack of a better word, I shall call "My Plan".
This plan, our plan, your plan, the plan is grounded in reality and has been conceived because it will in coming to pass also fulfil my dream. A dream I will build with nothing but my bare hands if I must.
The plan is to create a feasible way of establishing an Permaculture Based Eco Village in Kent. (Kent is in the South East of England).
To fulfil my dream it seems the only answer is to fulfil the dream for many and in doing so enable others to live that same dream.
I can do nothing else it is part now of who I am and will never let go. The woodlands call to me and I must find a way to answer them.
If all that sounds a little melodramatic it is maybe because I am a little odd.
If all that sounds a little too spooky and mystical it is because I like to use poetic language to describe how I feel.
If it scares you imagine how I feel.
If it inspires you then join me.
Join me as I try to outline my plan. Document my success or failures and largely answer the call of woodland.
This year I will attempt the impossible - subscribe so that you do not miss it.
